Out of 7 days....

[sweet79]

I have only drank 2 days out of 7! It is a slow start, and my 24 hour flu bug was a huge hiccup....just cuz it caused me to be so sick, but I am happy that I am able to not just sit home and drink without purpose. I haven't even wanted any wine! and no longer hiding bottles in the house.... Which is why I wanted to stop drinking in the first place.
I know it is early, but I am happy with how I am approaching this whole thing.
I am, however, finding that without drinking I am sooo cloudy. Just really tired and almost feel dizzy. I do find it helpful that I am able to pinpoint exactly what has made me want to stop drinking so much. AND it certainly helps to check in to this site every day Thanks for listening....xoxo

Hi sweet79,

Welcome to MWO, this is a good place!
Sorry to hear you have the flu but maybe it's a blessing in disguise, so to speak! Congrats on your decision to stop drinking. Wine was my poison of choice too!

I felt cloudy, fuzzy, etc for the first week or so when I quit drinking. Be sure to drink lots of water, tea, etc. Your body is likely to be dehydrated right now. You will be feeling much better soon. It is a good idea to get rid of all the AL in your house. Make a firm commitment to yourself & make a good plan, both helped me so much. If you ordered the Hypno CDs, use them. They really helped me change my thinking about AL & I used them for quite a while.

Stay close to MWO, post on the Newbies Nest thread where lots of people are just getting started as well

Wishing you the very best on your journey!
